Former first lady Rosalynn Carter died Sunday at 96 years old with husband, former President Jimmy Carter, who turned 99 last month, by her side at their home in Georgia, their son told The Washington Post.
The Carters celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary this summer, and by then had already been the longest-married presidential couple in United States history for some time. In the wake of Rosalynn Carter's death, new details emerged this week about her final moments and the former president's devotion throughout them.
The couple's son, James E. Carter III, known as "Chip," detailed his parents' last days together in comments to The Post that were published on Wednesday. He said that his father sat beside Rosalynn Carter's bed, in his wheelchair, on Saturday night as other family members gathered in their bedroom.
